Wow - thank you for the glowing review! We're so glad that you recognized (and experienced) our commitment to customer service. As you discovered, we start by hiring good people who we like to work with and who treat our customers like family. We know that buying a car is a big decision and can be stressful, so we have tried to make the process as easy, transparent and hassle-free as possible. We don't try to sell cars, we try to earn customers for life. Thank you for traveling to see us and for trusting us with your purchase. We're glad to know that Trey, Wesley and the rest of the team made it worth the trip. We appreciate your business and the kind words...and look forward to serving you again. Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your positive experience. We're glad that even though we did not have a female salesperson, that Kathryn, Becky, Cameron and the rest of the team helped you to feel at ease with your purchase. We know that car salesmen have a certain stereotype as being pushy and overbearing. But we try to shatter those notions by offering no-pressure, no-hassle sales, and letting our customers have the space they need to make their buying decision. When you're ready, then our team will walk you through the sale with friendly, professional service. We're glad that your experience made it worth the drive to shop with us. When we hear that someone would buy from us again, we know we're doing something right. Thank you for trusting us with your purchase.

Glad I tried Donohoo! Lot of emphasis on the "solo, no pressure test drive". No hassle. Shop and compare at your pace. I actually enjoyed this car shopping experience. More

We know that buying a car is a big deal, so we want to make the process as enjoyable and hassle-free as possible. A big part of that (as you discovered), is giving our customers the space to test drive the car on their own terms, with no salesperson hovering over them. We want to help you buy the right car for you, not force something that you're uncomfortable with. And our team sales process ushers our customers quickly through the buying process, once they've found the right car for them. We love our customers, but we know that spending the day at a dealership is not most people's idea of a good time. Thanks for letting us know that you received excellent service and an enjoyable experience. We appreciate your trust and your business! Enjoy your new Benz!
